How The Prodigy Went Wild in Moscow? 250,000 People at the Kremlin Walls. A Concert That Changed Russia Forever
SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 – THE DAY RUSSIA WENT CRAZY!
A quarter of a MILLION people. Manezhnaya Square. Minus two degrees. The Prodigy at the height of their fame. And total CHAOS, a memory that will last a lifetime!
WHAT HAPPENED:
• The largest concert in Russian history
• Light barriers against 250,000 madmen
• Zero toilets for a quarter of a million people
• Police with batons against a crazed crowd
• British musicians in SHOCK at the Russian madness
WHY THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING:
✅ MTV began broadcasting in Russia with this concert
✅ The government FOREVER banned mass concerts near the Kremlin
✅ The entire Russian electronic music scene was born
✅ An entire generation was given permission to be themselves
IN THE VIDEO YOU WILL FIND OUT:
How a 24-year-old student organized the impossible
Why The Prodigy first played after the Cossack choir
How many people actually died (officially, zero, but...)
How three British freaks launched a cultural revolution
What the musicians themselves said about this madness
EPIC HIGHLIGHTS:
• Keith Flint in a balloon in front of 50 people (1995)
• A quarter of a million in ecstasy to "Firestarter"
• A stampede that the police couldn't stop
• People on stretchers screaming, "GIVE US BACK!"
This isn't just the story of a concert—it's a story about how freedom is born. How music can change a country. And why sometimes you just have to turn it up and dance like there's no tomorrow.
LIKE if you were also willing to freeze for their music!

Потом, просматривая видео концерт, видели себя с Артемом два раза!! Ждали тот самый момент, когда вызвали на бис Поизн, но эта фишка в монтаж не вошла, к сожалению.
Горжусь, что был там тогда. Это лучший концерт всех времён!
Prodigy Forever! ❤
